C. Goodnoe, of Oregon, was a caller at this

B. C Dixon having taken them up as estrays.
Throagh the courtesy of Mr. and Mrs, W. M.
ffiamsn we took a ride up the valley this week
aad visited one of the irrigation farms. The
wheat had just been cut and it was believed by
the farmer that it would yield thirty bushels to
the acre, although' it had shattered out badly in
harvesting. The corn on the farm stood very
high and thick, and we judge if it fills out well
should go 75 bushels to the acre. The trees
the farm show the effects of water.

The officers of the agricultural
society are repairing the race course at

The work of putting the machinery
in the mill is progressing satisfactorily,
Mr. Holtry expecting to be ready to make
flour by the hrst of September. The
wheat raised in Lincoln county and vicin
ity is of fine quality and patrons of the
mill may depend on getting flour good.
Advices from the southwestern part
of the county are to the effect that they
have one of the best wheat crops ever har
vested and that other crops are in a high
ly promising condition. On Wednesday
Messrs. Nation, Brainard and Ferrell
bought a threshing machine of Hershey
& Co. and they will commence work
without delay.
A couple weeks ago there was some
complaint of a short supply of M'ater in
the irrigating ditch. The .difficulty was
caused by the long continued southeast
wind, causing the water in the river at
the head of the ditch to fall perceplibty
by blowing it to the north side. The
ditch is carrying a large volume of water
now and there is not likely to be a Bhort
supply again this season.
A few weeks ago the butter market
was referred to as being almost dead.
There has been a revival, under the pres
sure of short supply, and a good article is
again in demand at 25 cents. It should
be brought in in good shape in order to
command the top price and ready sale.

stating that the base ball nine would be
down to-morrow and cross bats with the
home team in the afternoon. The visit
ing club will probably be composed of
players from the post and town, selecting
the best players in both clubs. A good
game will be the result; in fact the home
team will be compelled to play ball for
all they are worth or else suffer their first
defeat.
Talking about hotels, the best site
in the city for a first-class structure of
that kind at the present time, is on the
corner of Spruce and Fifth streets. This
property fronts east and south, offering
coolness and comfort in summer, and
sunlight and warmth in winter. If the
present scheme to build on Locust street
fails, it would be a good investment for
property holders on Spruce street to
form a syndicate and put up a first-class
three story building. We believe this
will be done inside of a twelve-month
The work of making hay for the
coming winter is now in full progress
Every acre of grass land should be cut, as
it is likely the demand for hay will be
mnch better than last year, the crop of
Colorado upland being almost a failure
Taken as a whole, the last year was not a
prosperous one for hay makers, the mar
ket being dull und almost below a paying
point all the fall and winter. About the
first of M.aj' there was a revival and ship
pers made something, but profits were
not sufficient to overcome losses sustained
during the winter.
The wind during the storm of Satur
day night last was the strongest we have
had this season, attaining a velocity of
about 50 miles according to the register
ing apparatus at the signal office. "Many
thought that it blew harder, and probably
it did in places. "We have heard of dam
age only in one instance that of young
Charley Brooks, who sustained quite a
severe loss by the blowing down of a
sbed, breaking a buggy and it is reported
killing a horse. A number of wind mill
towers that have been standing a dozen
years or so were expected to go but they
failed to succumb.
The outrage committed on Mr. Strick
ler'B store Monday night will have just
the contrary effect desired. " While it is
not pleasant to be treated that way and
inflicts some damage, it advertises his
business and increases his trade, for when
you try to boycott a man fairmmded
people feel it incumbent on them to go
around and see the man and buy some
thing just for spite. We knowj nothing
about any agreements, and don't wish to
know, (at the same time it is just as well
to remark here that we question the wis
dom of closing stores at 8 o'clock in the
evening in summer time) but if Mr.
S. has violated anv alleired npTPfimpnts.
those who are agrieved are proceeding in
the wrong way to find a remedy. Throw
ing ancient eggs on a man's place of
business, painting tho windows and dam
aging the property is not in the line of
relief and will not receive the sanction of
the people. In justice to our business
men it can be said tho proceeding does
not receive their sanction. It was the
work of some small brained men or in
experienced boys.
Later. Yesterday morning several
young men were arrested charged with
the offense, and had a trial before Justice
Hawley in the afternoon. The charge
was for desiroying property of less than
one hundred dollars in value. As we go
to press the trial is still in progress.
W. H. Welty has been suffering from
a severe attack of rheumatism, compeii
ing him to amble around on crutches.
Mr. Mitchell, clerk of Logan county,
was in the city Thursday. He says there
was not much hail in Logan county last
Saturday.
The slaeolithic walk in front of Fo
ley's block is the admiration of all pedes-
trians. If there is anytnmg-new r oiey is
the first to find and adopt it.
Nine new instruments have been or
dered from Elkhart, Indiana, for the use
of the cornet band. They will arrive the
coming week and an improvement in tne
music rendered may be looked for.
Carl, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. John
Ottenstein, died early Saturday morning
and the remains interred Sunday after
noon, Father Conway, officiating. The
parents have the sympathy ot many
friends in the loss of their darling little
boy.
The matter in dispute between John
Bratt & Co. and Logan county as to the
assessment of certain cattle, it has been
agreed will be submitted to Judge Hamer
as an arbitrator, both parties agreeing to
, abide the decision as final.
The picnic at Lamplugh's lake Sun-
dav was not as well attended as was ex
pected and it is said a number of kegs of
beer were hauled home untouched, the
supply being greater than the demand.
Mr. Lamplugh has set his foot down on
these beer picnics and in the future will
allow no intoxicating beverages on .the
grounds. This is a commendable move.
The Tribune is in the advertising
Dusmess, ana we naturally ieei jealous
wnen those who are not in that line make
an attempt to increase a merchant's trade.
That is our prerogative. This has hap
pened quite often, but on the present oc
casion we refer more particularly to those
who have been advertising Mr. Stickler's
trade. If continued, fair warning
is given that we will commence an action
for damages. It's an outrage on a free
American newspaper and we can't stand
it. Not knowing who the parties are, our
only recourse has been to charge btnek-
ler $7.15, which is cheap. We prefer
to do the work ourselves, but if some one
steps in and cheats us, we must retaliate
The hail storms of last Saturday were
the most destructive that have visited this
section for several years- The one that
visited this county appeared'to originate
in the northern part of this county and in
Logan where the hail covered extensive
areas and apparently traveled from north
to south, crossing the railroad and river
seme twelve miles east of town. From
that point for about twelve miles south
there was not much hail to speak of, but
in the vicinity of the Votaw settlement in
town 11, range 29, trouble commenced
again and all crops in the path of the hail
were practically ruined. In the German
settlement north of Medicine lake it was
especially severe.
The latest project submitted by Mr.
Neville receives the warm support of
every enterprising citizen, and many have
signified their willingness to contribute
liberally. Dr. Buckworth offering $500
and Col Cody $1,000. We suggest how
ever to owners of property on Locust
street that they will be the principal
beneficiaries and it is naturally expected
that they will stand in the front rank of
contributors. It looks very much as
though the movement is the tide in the
affairs of Locust street which taken at the
flood Will lead to fortune, but whether
the property owners will have the fore
sight to get on to the tide and ride into
the sea of prosperity is doubtful. Ten
thousand dollars is a large sum of money.

Emerick, the popular salesman with R. &
S., drawing $30. A Tribune reporter got
wind of this item of news, and in tracing
it up was surprised at the number of per
sons holding tickets in this lottery scheme
and what may seem strange each one
confidently believed he was the fortunate
person. It is asserted by those who have
figured the scheme out that a person
stands about one chance in one hundred
to win. This is really worse than buck
ing the tiger, for in that game if played
honestly, it is said, the dealer has only
20 per cent in his favor, giving him 70 to
your 30. Yet in spite of the great odds
in favor of the lottery, which every sane
person must know, it is the most fascinat
ing scheme for robbing the public extant.
You may invest a life time and never
draw out a cent, yet the hope bumb of the
lottery votary is just as large after years
of fruitless investment as when he com
menced. There are hundreds of ways to
make a small investment so that it will be
a sure return. Our advice to young men
who squander their means in this lottery
scheme is to save their money for a short
time and then buy land or lot3. This is a
safe investment. We don't expect this
advice to be heeded, and presume the
only way to correct the evil is to turn the
foolkiller loose.

FANNED WIND FOR SEVEN INNINGS.
Our countrv cousins from Medicine
precinct came up Saturday and in the af
ternoon spent an hour or two in trying to
find the balls delivered by young Norton
who occupied the box for the JNorth
Plattes. Up to the seyenth inning the
Hayseeds did not score a run, while the
homo boys circled the diamond twenty
six times. During the eighth and ninth
innings the North Plattes did not go the
bat, concluding they had made enough
runs for all general purposes, but gave
the visitors their innings in which they
succeeded in scoring two runs. Norton
pitched an effective game, striking out
twelve men. The score by innings :

PLUM CREEK AGAIN SALTED.
The third game of the season between
the Plum Creek and North Platte teams
occurred at the grounds in this city Sun
day afternoon in the presence of about
three hundred spectators. The visitors
came up feeling somewhat doubtful of
success and though they brought consid
erable boodle with them, few bets were
made White nitched an excellent came.

In the fifth inning of the Plum Creek
game Umpire Fitzgerald was struck on
the cheek by a foul tip which laid him
out stiff for a few moments, but recover
ing continued his duties through the
game. It isn't much of a game when
Fitz doesn't get it in the neck and he
will probably hereafter protect himself
with a mask.
Letters have been received from all the
clubs forming tho western league saying
that they will play exhibition games in
this city at the earliest possible date .
Arrangements have been in progress
for a second game with Julesburg, but at
this date nothing definite is known as to
the date.
Kearney has organized a team and will
start out on a tour the coming week. An
effort will be made to have them come
here.
The Juniors went down to Plum Creek
Wednesday with the expectation of play
ing the juvenile club of that place, but
when the game was called they
found that they had to combat with a
nine composed largely of players belong
ing to the senior organization, and as a
result the North Platte boys were de
feated by a score of 24 to 4.
George Jordan, who played with the
club of this city three seasons ago, will
return with his brother' Carl next week.
He has the reputation of being the best
amateur pitcher in Chicago.
Manager McEvoy is trying to arrange
another game with Plum Creek and as an
inducement he offers to give that club
White and Dallas for a battery, the home
team playing Mills in the box and Moore
behind the bat This would make a
mighty interesting game.

Sunday Ball Playing.
A few things perhaps may be said in
favor of playing base ball on Sunday, but
they are largely outweighed by "argu
ments on tne otner side. It is unneces
sary to enumerate them ; they are obvious
to every thinker and person who has
given the subject any thought. This is a
lana of religion and morality, and when
the gates guarding those sacred institu
tions are broken down, even for the en
couragement of so laudable an institu
tion as the manly game of ball, other and
more dangerous excesses are encouraged
and invited. Throughout this broad land
Sunday is regarded as a day of rest, of
quiet, peaceful enjoyment, either in a
religious or pleasant social way. It is
well to continue this observance, and en
courage no games however meritorious in
themselves calculated to disturb tbe reli
gious harmony of the day. Probably
